Week 27...12 to go!

Today marks 27 weeks.  Shew.  Today (as seen in the picture) I wore a white shirt....all day I felt like the "Stay Puff Marshmallow Man."  Baby Girl is definitely growing and getting stronger.  Her kicks are now clearly visible from the outside.  Matthew and I crack up at night when I rest my Kindle on my belly and she kicks it off.  It is so funny.  I am pretty sure there are times when she does the bicycle in there.

This week I am craving sweets...not a good thing I know.   AND....I feel the need to eat...all.the.time.  I am sure when I go back to the doctor next week I am going to have gained a million pounds.  Other than the food thing, I am still feeling pretty good.  I have tried a few natural remedies for the foot cramps and that seems to have worked, at least for now.  My belly is a bit achy as baby girl is stretching.  The heat is having a much stronger effect on me than I thought that it would.  Normally, I LOVE summer.  I would much prefer the heat than the cold of winter any time, but for some reason, a little while in the sun = need looooong nap.  :)  The next few months should be fun!

So many of you are now joining in on the name guessing game!  You guys are very creative!  Keep the guesses coming!  This is so fun!

Trying times...

  Yes, today is 14 weeks and yes a picture is coming I promise, but hubby isn't home yet.  :(  But I need to vent.  Today has been a very emotionally trying day.  Life seems to be overwhelming me (probably along with a few hormones too!) and I am really struggling today.  Between work, grad school, and other aspects of life, I am left worn out and stressed out.  I am well aware that I am very blessed.  I have been blessed with some amazing opportunities in life and even now with this baby on the way I realize how great I have things.  However, maybe this baby is helping me to put things into perspective.  Some of the things that I once found so important don't seem to matter as much.  Deadlines have been mere suggestions lately.  Most of all, I feel like I am struggling to find my voice in the sea of those who want to tell me what to do, how to do it, or how I should be feeling right now.  I can't decide if I want to cry or sleep.  I know that many of you are going throu

Holy Week

This week is Holy Week in the life of the church.  I love Holy Week and the somber reflection that comes with this week. Baby Kimmons has had an interesting week with all of the church services. I had the privilege of rehearsing and playing with the Baptist church for Good Friday, to which the baby was highly responsive. I hope that it is a musical child. It seemed to like the music and was dancing or something in there! We also had a Maundy Thursday service to which Baby K seemed to love all the singing as well.      Obviously, this has been a very busy week and I am exhausted.  The tired feeling has definitely not gone away, in fact, it may be even more intense.  I have been super achy this week as things seem to be growing and shifting even more. We had a bit of a scare yesterday, but after being all checked out, everything seems to be fine. Thank goodness!  ( Sorry for any of you that I scared while at work!)     I am having a few cravings this week, but unfortunately, I am cravi

Whadda ya think?

So, now that we have shared our big news, everyone's next question is..."well, are you going to find out the gender?"  My response is "ABSOLUTELY!" Ha!  My Type A- OCD personality has to find out.  Many people love the element of surprise that comes with not finding out, but I think the surprise of just meeting our beautiful baby will be enough, the rest must be planned.  :)  As far as preference, we don't really have one.  I would love to have a little girl to put big bow and flowers on their head and to cover in ruffles and frills, but a little boy would be tons of fun.  As long as the baby is happy and healthy, we are thrilled either way.  I have had several people make their suggestions as to gender based on my appearance.  One family member says it's a boy cause I am carrying all in front, a friend says it's a girl cause I am carrying down low.  My friends think it's a boy cause I haven't been puking like they were and they both had girl
